These G.Skill Ripjaws look nice

Might be kinda expensive compared to whatever 2x1GB set you're looking at though, since it's 2x2GB.

Aw, that's way beyond the budget. I was looking at RAMs for around $50-65, anything good in that range?

This is getting even better. Your input is much appreciated.

Edit: Overlooked the price and realized it was from Newegg.com. The Athlon II X2 250 is here to stay.

After considering the total with HD 4770, it was definitely out of the budget, so I decided to go with HD 4670. I have already selected the RAM and the GPU, but one more question before placing the order.

What's the difference between these two? They look identical.

Looks good, now I might as well order this along with the purchase at Newegg.
